whlinder, there sure is: on Wilson Blvd. across the street from the mall. Looked right at it while at Memphis BBQ on Tues. Have eaten there, too. 
Last night was really fun-- drew FTers from far and wide (YVR). Of note, especally for a DC based event, was the lack of US cockroaches... although I wonder if UA flyers can be considered honorary cockroaches.
Looking forward to next month. Someone mentioned "Why Thurs.?" so I bring that forward: thoughts for or against? For me, Thurs. works well-- but this is majority rules, right?

I missed it because Bethesda was too far for me to get back to DCA for my flight. Ballston or DC would be nice next time. I can often be found at the Rock Bottom at the Ballston mall since I usually visit one of our offices across the street.
I may have some of our new cockroach pins for those die hard US fans if I can get there next time.

As I live and work in Alexandria, I'd be game for meeting someplace in Ballston. I also like the Rock Bottom Brewery or if you want mexican again, there is Chevy's. Maybe at a future happy hour we can meet at some place in Old Town?

Thanks guys, I'm glad I was able to hook up with you last night. It was really good to put a few names and faces together and share a glass or two. I'm glad your monthly get-together matched my business trip.
Cheers

Bump.....
Thoughts for a date in Dec? I'm thinking the week of Dec. 16.......
Tues. or Wed. may be better since people might have holiday plans toward Thurs.

It might be a lot of fun. We should pick some place with a Christmas theme.
